Control functions ESU13622 3 1 (a) 2 Adjusting the air pressure of the front shock absorbers (RX10PS) EWS00730 WARNING (b) The air pressure of the left and right shock absorbers must be adjusted to the same setting. Uneven settings can cause poor handling and loss of stability. A shock absorber pump is provided with your snowmobile to adjust the air pressure of the shock absorbers. This pump is equipped with an air pressure gauge. One side of the gauge has a low-pressure meter and the other side of the gauge has a high-pressure meter. Use the low-pressure meter to adjust the front shock absorbers. 1. Locknut 2. Distance A 3. Spring preload adjusting nut TIP The spring preload setting is determined by measuring distance A, shown in the illustration. The longer distance A is, the higher the spring preload; the shorter distance A is, the lower the spring preload. Spring preload setting*: Minimum (soft): RX10P 122.5 mm (4.82 in) RX10PXT 130.0 mm (5.12 in) Standard: RX10P 134.5 mm (5.30 in) RX10PXT 130.0 mm (5.12 in) Maximum (hard): RX10P 144.5 mm (5.69 in) RX10PXT 140.0 mm (5.51 in) * Distance A changes 1.5 mm (0.06 in) with each full turn of the adjusting nut. 3.
